Remember, Boys Make Men When, you see a ragged urchin Standing -wistful in the street, Whb, torn hat and kneeless trowsers .?irty lace and baro-red feet, Fass not by the child unheeding : Smile upon him. Mark me-whi .He's grown he'll not forget it, For, remember, boys make men. When the buoyant youthful spirits Overflow in boyish freak, Chide your child in gentle accents Do not ia your anger speak. You must sow in youthful bosoms Seeds of tender mercy ; then Plants will grow and bear good frui When the erring boys are men. Have you never seen a grandsire, Wita his eyes aglow with joy, Bring to mind some act of Kindness Something said io him-a boy? . Or relate some slight or coldness, With a brow all clouded, when, Ho said they were too thoughtless To remember boys make'men? Let ns trv to add some pleasure To the'life of every boy, For each child needs^ tender interest In its sorrow and its joy. Call your boys home by its brightn They avoid a gloomy den. And seek for comfort elsewhere; And remember, boys make men. THE LADY ?FTH?TI?I -0 " THIS is the place, doctor-; for God's sake, make haste, or. shall he too late." Witli these words, the rough la ing man who summoned me, tl open the door of a rickety leneu house in a back Jane, and toge we began to mount the crazy .sta It was a horrible spot-filthy, ( and wretched-the abode of pov and woe; and, a? we weat..np to topmost story of the reeking bu ing, I fairly,shuddered to. think there existed human beings who 1 died together there aud called I den a home ! The thousand and one clock the city were tolling out the hou midnight as we entered the sick ro and stood in the presence of a woi who I knew at a glance was dy in starvation. My profession had, in a measi hardened me to such scenes, for I been but two years a physician, ; 'the practice of a yoting uwdical fie ling is, it is a known fact, gener; among the lower classes, where w and the evils which always follov their track abound. -The chamber, if the small cram] apartment was worthy of so dignil a name, was without a carpet, ? contained by way of furniture o two half broken ' chairs, the dil bed on which the patient lay, am small, unblacked, cheap cooking sto The walls were dirty and smo" and the sombre glare of a greasy i oil lamp, with a chimney nearly i scured by the accumulated soot many weeks, cast but a feeble Iii around. I looked at the woman stretel ont and nearly cold before me, a as her closed eyes quivered wit] faint but ineffectual attempt to op when her dull ears caught the sout of our coming, I shook my head. The face of my conductor fell. " Is she past hope ?" the man ask anxiously, in a whisper. I nodded affirmatively. . '"I bought some brandy as I cai to you," said the kindhearted fello still in a whisper ; " wouldu't th do some good?" I reached out my hand for it ai tasted it ; it was vile stuff-a nans ous compound of crude whisky ai adulterated cognac oil ; but it \v the best sold in that neighborhood, had strength-so I put the flask the patient's lips, and forced a fe drops down her throat. She revived almost instantaneous and opened her eyes wiidly. " Where is it ? oh. where is it she gasped faintly, and her pale, bot fingers began a tremulous sean about her neck. I thought it w.-.s delirium, ai waited silently. At.length she fas ened on a gold chain that was aboi her neck, one end of which was h?< den away in her bosom. A shade of relief passed over h< worn countenance at .this snd drav ing the portion that had been coi cealcd into the light, she claspe convulsively in both hands a sma iron key that was attached to it, an pressed it to her lips. .' Thank heaven !" she murmur?e as she did this, and glanced sharp!; about the place. " New, when h comes again he will not harm me !" Immediately she grew strongei and shortly she said, quite rational!) but feebly " You are a doctor ?" " Yes," I said. " Why is that other person wit' you ?" The man himself answered th i . questson " I am the owner ol' this house an yow friend." " My friend !" repeated the woma in a low voice. My friend, sir! had a husband, but he -vas no fri em and he is dead-and I-I am dyin<. too." I tried to stop her from talking bu#it was.of no avail, and she con tinned II Doetor, you are making efforts t save me ; I know you are. Yoi know the strength of a woman's will Yes. Well, I have made up la] mind to die, and I will not be baulk ed. You ask me my reasons. Well yoa shall have them-after I'm gone They are written out in this pa pet Promise me you will not break tin peal until I am dead." I promiseil ; and she drew a smal packet, from under her pillow, ant placed it in my hand?. Then, en . tirely exhausted by the efforts sin had made in speaking, the womat closed her eye*, -'nd. alter a quid gasp, ceased to breathe. ,My companion, provided with tin necessary bertificate, sought HM un d?rtaker, ahd 1 went home as speed i ly ap possible, glad in my heart o hear,ts that the woman was ut rest. Once seated in my office, I brok* the seal ot the packet, and read thc following strange story I have been a faithless wife ; but, oh, how bitterly have I been pun ished 1 I was a native of a far country-a Russian. Here I was but a poverty stricken and unhappy exile. .Years ago'I was the young and happy wife of the Duke of all the Russians ! ' He was powerful and rich, and the slave.of my beauty. I loved him in return with all the ardor of a passionate soul. He'iad *taken me to his heart a C' ia?t girl, and had raised me from h, daily toil, to a proud coronet ! My' husband was forty years my semor ! Yet, oh, how kind he was to me tow fatherly I We dwelt in tho country to the south., and - the duke had a winter palace at St, Petersburg. At coilrt I was the cynosure of jill i i^The more so, perhaps, because my I .history was known. J From a rude cabin I had- risen palace. But St. Petersburg-the gorg capital-there it was-r-amid spier almost like enchantments-that b" fell upon me ! Theie, amid the. crowd of. wi and gallantry that came to la homage at my feet, I first savi cause of all my woe.. There first burst upon my da: vision Count Ivan, glorious in al charms of opening manhood. The peach-blossom of youth upon his cheek, and the roman love was'in his voice ! I o'vned his influence in my h but shrank from it as an adder. Yet, whenever he was near, I conscious that new beauties, flu into my face, and that strange wonted sensations penetrated mj som ! I scarcely ever dared ipenl; look at him* but my furtive gla revealed to me a terrible fact. The Count. Ivan looked upoi with languishing eyes. Adonis himself never seemed i lovely to impassioned Venus tha did at times to me. But I loved my husband tend? devotedly, and thc thought of tre, to him was madness. . And I did not meditate treasoi His passion for me still couth as e.er, and was daily manifested Jealousy was as remote fron: great soul as lrom God himself, hence, when gay noblemen, and 1 them the Count Ivan, were admir ly about me, the duke was not < pleased, but actually treated homage; extended to me as in ; tendered to himself. I tried to shun the Count rva/i. j My soul whispered danger to . But the duke was partial to ! youth. He told him, while I shudde: that his doors were ever open to I I could not waru my. husband. I could not tell lum my fears. And I wept alone. ' Meanwhile the Count Ivan was most always near me, and each i grew mote ardent and more opel his passiou. I could not fail to understand 1 now. . . At last the crisis came ! And Fate-humble and grim F -wrote in it's awful book the full 1 ment of my destiny ! One evening I was left alone w my Inver. We were at St. Petersburg, I the duke was absent somewhere, bi ed with the affairs of his vast esh It was the gay winter seasou, ? the frozen snow that night was al with the tinkling bells. I was alone with Count Ivan the great reception chamber of 1 palace. He was sitting beside me on divan, the fed velvet covering which was but pale compared to I crimson Hush that was on my chee "We spoke in low whispers. We talked of love. God ! the delirium of delight I < perienced. He drifted back to the regions classic iV: ble. He spoke of the amours of t divinities of Mount Olympus. ?Ab, so glowingly, so passionate he spoke ! I listened, I hung upon his brea enraptured-enthralled ! The dark angels that were battli. for my soul held victory balanced their hands. I was afraid. . I trembled. I almost wept. The Count Ivan looked into n eyes and seemed lo read my vei soul ! 1 shook Hire a leaf. I buried my fae in my hands. Suddenly the Count Ivan eluspt me in hi- aims, and, iniprin ing burning kiss uj>on my lips, drew m head upon his shoulder. .' Mine now, forever I" But suddenly, oh, horror ! I he^r the well known voice of the duli upon the stair outside. Tiie Count ivan i-p'-ang to his fee and in a second I thrust him into large wardrobe, and was ju^t turnio the key when my husband entere and stood belbie, me. He was pal as the face of a corpse. Great di.? torted purple veins stood out on hi torehead, and bis .lips were twitdhin with a terrible convulsive motion ! He knew all * We had been betrayed ! He spoke nu word whatever, bn went silently to the wardrobe am turned the key I had left sticking i the lock in my fright, twice, and the: withdrew it and put it. in his pocket Then for the first time he spoke. He simply said- * " Follow me !" More .dead than alive, I obeyed and we went down the stairs and ou into the bitter, biting air. A traveling brit/.ka stood waitin? near the place. I was hurried into it, and after ? few words to the coachman, the duk turned to me and ^rave me the key. "Keep this," said he ; " I must gi back ; I have forgotten something!" He disappeared in the darkness and was absent perhaps ten minute.1: when he returned ar?d got into th carriage by my side. We moved slowly away, and as wi went, my husband, pointing from tin coach window, uttered-*-; '. Luok there !" I looked, and 0, God! the palaci we had just left was a sheet ol' dame And tiie Count Ivan was peri sh i iii there locked in the wardrobe ol whiol ? had the key ! With a wild, heart-broken cry, J fell back in a swoon, and lay 1 know irot huw long. When I revived I was alone in the britzka. 1 felt i weight about my neck. I touched it. It was a massive gold chain ! Attached to it was the key ol thal fatal wardrobe ! The chain wai riveted to its place, and I could :io? remove it. A second time I swooned. When I again recovered I was in a compartment of a railway carriage. Tue coachman was with me. I inquired pur destination. " Paris," he said. I In due course we arrived, and I was taken to a set of furnished apart ments, where I was left. . I determined at once on suicide, and was about to carry my project into immediate exe cution, with the aid of a small pock et-knife I had in my possession, when my hand was arrested by my hus band, who at that moment' entered the chamber. ' He bouuft me by the most terrible oaths never to make the attempt again while he lived, under pain that, il I violated the compact, he would instantly publ^'i my shame and bring dishonor upon my family I I'was thus forced sorrowfully to live on and to submit to his visits, which took place regularly each month. j His love for .me was changed into intense and hitler hate, and his high est pleasure each visit was .to recount minutely tamfe all the circumstances of my treachery-;to him, all the events of that awful night in St. Petersburg. He made ^ne swear to wear the chain and key to. my dying hour ! This lasted for twenty long years, during the course of which he never once failed to appear promptly at the appointed time. At last the welcome tidings of his death reached me. and I came to London to carry ont my cherished design of putting an end to my woes. I have taken this obscure apart ment with the view of effecting my design by starvation I . The total omission of names and clues is intentional ! I do not wish to bring further dis grace upon my husband's family or my own ! Daylight was peening in through the blinds pf my study window^when I finished reading this strange narra tion. "Was it the wild outpouring of a lunatic s bram, or was it a sober, truthful ? At all events, I myself had seen the chain and key. However, as ? myself could not judge of its falsity or verity, I have determined to publish the narrative in full as it camp into my possession, with my own experience as connected with it. and I hope that its readers, if with them when they have perused ii, it may lack confirmation, will, at least find a. touch of -melancholy in terest in THE LADY of THE KEY. Life's Brightest Hour. Not Jong Bince I met a gentleman who is assessed foi- more than a juill - ion. Silver was in his hair, care up on his brow, and he stooped beneath his burden of wealth. We were speaking of that period of life when he had realized the most perfect en joyment, or, rather, when he had lound the happiness Dearest, to be un alloyed. " I'll tell you," ' said the millionaire, " when was the happiest hour of my lile. At the age of one and-twenty I haij saved up. $&00. I was earning $500 a year, aud my father did not take it from me, only required that I should pay for my board. At the age of twenty-two I had secured a pretty cottage, just out side of the city ; 1 y as able to pay two-thirds of the value down, and also to furnish it respectably'. ' I was married on Sunday-a Sunday in June-at my fathers house. My wife had come to me poor in purse, but rich in the wealth of her wo manhood. The Sabbath and the Sab bath night we passed beneath my father's roof, and en Monday morn ing I went to my work, leaving my mother and sister to help in prepar ing my home. On Monday evening when the labors of the day were done, I went hot to the paternal shel ter, as in the past, but to my own house,-my own home. The holy atmosphere of that hour seems to surround me even now in the memory. I opened the door of my cottage and entered. I laid my hat upon the lit tle stand in the hall, and passed on into the kitchen-our kitchen and dining-room were all one then. I pushed open the kitchen door and was-in Heaven ! The table was set against the wall-the evening meal . was ready-prepared by the hands of her who had come lo be my help meet in deed as well as in name and by the table, with a throbbing, expectant look upon her lovely and loving laue stood my wife. 1 tried to speak, but could n??t. 1 could only clasp the.waiti:ig?atigel t<> my bos 'in, thus showing to lier the ecstatic bin den of my heui t.

A countryman was in New York oir?n Augu-t Sunday, and- cross-d tho Brooklyn fewy in the morning, for the purpose of hearing Beecher.' But lo, the Plymouth pulpit, was oc: cirpied by a si ranger, who delivered a tedious, couimoh-phice sermon from the text :*' And behold Simon s wile s mother lay sick of a fever."' Mr. Beecher was away taking his vaca tion. In the afternoon the man sought to console himself Xor his morning's dis appointment by listening to li. II. Chanin. He was shown to a front seat by the sexton of E. H. Chapitra church, and in due time WHS horr.lied to see the minister, of the morning appear in the pulpit. The po?>r vic tim heard, for the second time, the sermon from the text : " And behold Simon's wife's, mother lay sick of a fever," and went out of the sacred place very much discouraged. Mr. Chopin was taking his summi-r vaca tion. In the evening the man, thinking to redeem, in a measure, the defeat of the day, accepted a choice sitting in the Reformed Dutch Church, lor the sake of hearing the genial, elo quent and scholarly. Bethuue. But his Ijeart.quite broke when the evil spirit that had possessed him all day got up and .gave out a hymn. And when the text was announced. " And behold Simon's wile'x motlier lay sick of a lever," the party who knew all about the subject, rushed wildly from the over-lose, and ran to his hotel. Dr. Bethune was taking Iris summer vacation. The next morning lim man took . the first train for home, and stepping into the car there was his ministerial friend of the day before, willi his sermon under Ins aim. Thu New York bells were ringing a lire alarm,< and says the minister to his lay broth er, " Frieml,?do you know what those bells are tolling for?" Says the coun tryman, looking hard at the sermon, "I don't know, but I shouldn't won der if Simon's wife's mother was dead. I heard three times yesterday that she was down with a'fever."

Elizur Wright, who is admitted to be the greatest Insurance Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other things, " I am particularly pleased by your departure in the right'direction from the ordinary method of computhig the Surrender- Values." ''One of the great est drawbacks to the popularity of Life Insurance, has been the disap pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness of the surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented by a distinct statement on the Policy, in advance, of the sum tb be paid." This statement, it will be Been, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and cents, so that there can be no mistake.
